Through the haze of pain, it seems as though hours pass between the blasts of the Hurricane, the Ocarai mech shatters under the relentless force. Sana chatters uselessly in the background, everything is agony, the slightest movement is a lightning bolt surging through your body. Soon, you black out.
You awaken, the cockpit smells of blood and stale air. Sana is nearly screaming, appealing for immediate aid on all channels one moment, the next imploring you to wake up.
"Captain! Captain! Hostile movement detected nearby! Target signature is three times heavier than previously recorded Ocarai battle-units, and emitting five times as much EM radiation!" a brief pause, "This is Reaver 5-5 AI Sana to any Earth Forces unit within range, my commander is injured and we need immediate aid! Ocarai battle-unit in close proximity to civilian targets need immediate reinforcement!"
Biting back a howl of pain you force yourself back to something near clarity, you look up, directly into the terrifying violet photoreceptors of the last Ocarai mech. It towers over your shattered reaver like the avatar of a god, it's plating is a dark red-black, a tattered mantle flows back from it's shoulders, and its hands rest upon the crossguard of a massive straight sword.
"Sana, how long have I been out...?"
"You have been unconscious fo..."
A gravely voice cuts across the internal speakers, silencing Sana, "I have waited three segments for you Eidolon. You have defeated all of my cadre, a feat worthy of legend. Were you Ocarai, tales would be sung of your bravery and spirit." The voice pauses for several seconds, long enough for you to check the clock, four hours have passed since you started fighting the third mech. "Why is it, human, that your forces who we so readily destroyed elsewhere have managed to stop us here?"
